How very Web 2.d'oh! Dane Brown says,

Last week a number of computers were stolen from our office in Vancouver, BC. One of those computers was a shared iMac with Flickrbooth, an app that automatically uploads photo booth shots to our flickr account, installed on it. Just this morning a friend called to tell us that there are photos of whoever has the computer now in our flickr stream! Obviously the guy didn't know he was uploading images of himself and his awesome tattoos.

Here's a link to the shots on the company's flickr account. Do you know who this guy is? The theft victims and the Vancouver police would love to hear about it. Looks like the SomethingAwful forums are all over the case, too. Update: A gem in the comments thread: "There should be a word for this, thinking you're getting away with something on the sly while the world laughs at you, anticipating your inevitable demise -- schadendouche?"

i first remember hearing something like this about sidekicks being stolen a couple years ago, then people checking their online accounts and seeing the pics from the thiefs.

I love how he pulls the Bart Simpson defense...

"I didn't do it nobody saw me do it can't prove anything!"

Dude says he bought it froma friend who bought it from a dude with a red beard named "Ax". What's even funnier is he's been lol'd.

[dabbler]

well unless they have him on camera then they can't prove anything, but at least he has to give back the computer

i love how it says he had to click the 'upload' button to get his photo uploaded to flickr as it doesn't automatically upload for you.
